ported The newspapers alleged that Gen.

COAL MINERS STRIKE.
They Refuse to Slave Longer for STAR

CHICAGO, Oct. 13-A Vincennes Qnd. J
special says: twenty-five hundred to 5000
miners are out on strike i'll Southern In
diana and a coal famine is upon us. Ten
thousand miners or more are out in the
Davis county coal mines, and they propose
to stay out, and win not listen TO any com
promise. The companies are equally stub
born, and the fight promises to be a long
and bitter one. The Miners Federation
sends out a manifesto to-day to the effect
that they will stand out for an advance in
wages; that the companies have pursued
systematic persecution, and that wages have
been forced below living rates, We are
now going TO force them up. Owing TO the
former low prices paid for work, the men
are in poor condition to stand the fight If
they are successful a long step win have
been taken in the direction of an advance of
&C. per ton for all the mines in the fedora
ton district on Nov. 1. They have good
coal, good shipping facilities, and the cost
of production here Is small compared with
other mining districts. Mining is from 45c.
to 60c per ton and days labor from 90c
to s per day, and the men are paid in most
part out of the companies stores. we ap
peal to all miners all over Indiana, to come
TO the rescue and help ON the fight. The
manifesto is signed by President Fisher of
the federation. The fat has gone out all
along the line and the order is TO stay out
and refuse TO work"

BURNED IN EFFIGY.
MINNEAPoLIs, MINI, Oct. l3.-The ex-
element occasiCned by the appearance in
the Minneapolis Tribune, on the morning
after President Cleveland's visit. of an ed
itorial containing severe structures on the
administration, and the manner of conduct
ing the present tour for votes,n culmi-
mated tonight, when A. j. Blethen, pro
prietor Of the Tribune, was burned in efiigy
by a crowd of roughs. The exceptions
taken to the editorial were based principally
on the language used with reference TO
Mrs. Cleveland, and which was as follows
And it is extremely hard to respect either
member of this family now touring for
votes. Mrs. Cleveland is a handsome, ma
ture woman, apparently several years older
than she is said to be. AT least, She was old
enough to have exercised her own
free choice in marrying Grover Cleveland.
1t is inconceivable that she should have
married him except TO obtain the position
of mistress of tho White House. Such a
marriage would never have been thought of
but for astonishing political accidents,
which, in the course of two or three years,
brought Mr.. Cleveland out of the obscurity
which is his proper element, to the highest
position i'll the nation. Ii is hard to have
respect for woman who would sell herself
to so gross and repulsive man as Grover
Cleveland, and one with private record so
malodorous for the bauble of brief social
aScpnnaDrW Sna nhiaft
of curiosity and remark for gaping
crowds, and her photographs are
sold almost, if not quite, as freely as Mrs.
Langtry's. Such is her reward If she can
secure reelection for Grover, she will have
four years more of the qualification which
the highest social prominence gives, and of
the delight of further newspaper notoriety.
After that she will simply have to put up
with being the wife Of as Insignificant and
obscure man as an ex-President could
possibly be. One cannot help a pang of
sympathy for her, but she has chosen her
lot deliberately"
The mob was led by Mayor A. A. Ames.
After burning the efiigy the crowd proceed
ed to the Tribune building and made a
further demonstration, but was finally dis
persed by police. Mr. Blethen regards the
affair as a joke on Mayor Ames and the
crowd, as important business kept him
away from the Tribune Office on Tuesday
night, and he knew nothing whate yer of
the article till it appeared Wednesday

tically settle the question of the relative
value of gold and silver when coined.
Though several international confer.
ences have heretofore been held,
no conclusion has as vet been
reached The report refers to the action
taken by foreign powers, and concludes
with a recommendation that the coinage Of
